Abstract
This roundtable examines the theme of how comparative studies of Chinese philosophy toward world philosophy is possible, given comparative philosophy as a general way of doing philosophy through cross-tradition engagement toward world philosophy. The theme has three dimensions: <1> its nature dimension that guides such studies to do philosophy instead of merely historical description of what appear similar and different; <2> its approach dimension that guides such studies to go through the method of cross-tradition engagement (critically engaging with while constructively learning from each other); <3> its direction nature that guides such studies to move toward world philosophy in which such studies contribute to the contemporary development of philosophy on a range of issues that can be jointly concerned in different traditions and bring about the constructive social impact on the development of the human society worldwide. This roundtable consists of both general theoretic examination and specific case analyses. It also has its methodological significance on comparative studies of other philosophical traditions toward world philosophy.

“Comparative Philosophy Forum – Beijing Study Group” (an academic study group of voluntary colleagues who share the interest in comparative philosophy as a general way of doing philosophy through cross-tradition engagement toward world philosophy and who have lived and studied (now or before) in Beijing, China), together with International Society for Comparative Philosophy toward World Philosophy (CPWP, <www.cpwponline.org>), and the international journal Comparative Philosophy, <www.comparativephilosophy. org>), will co-sponsor the 2024 workshop of the “Comparative Philosophy Forum – Beijing” on 23rd July 2024, Beijing, China (the actual size/timeline sensitive to the need and number of quality papers).
It is an intensive-research/discussion-oriented workshop on the theme “Philosophy of Language/Logic and Cross-tradition Engagement in Philosophy”, covering a range of related issues including (but not limited to) these:
<1> How recent research fruits in philosophy of language/logic can substantially contribute to our understanding and treatment of normative bases of cross-tradition engagement in philosophy;
<2> How cross-tradition engaging studies on the laws of logic, the issue of identity/reference, etc., have significant impacts on treating a range of issues (including moral and social-political issues) jointly concerned in different philosophical traditions;
<3> How some recent research fruits in philosophy of language/logic can be effectively applied to comparative philosophy;
<4> How/to what extents distinct types of natural languages share the deep semantic-syntactic content/structure through which thoughts delivered in the former can be understood, evaluated and engaged with;
<5> In which aspects and to what extents some of distinct features of distinct natural languages can bear on the folk ways of thinking and reflective modes of doing philosophy in different traditions;
........
The theme and coverage of the 2024 workshop are inclusive not specifically focusing on some philosophical traditions’ case only; the setting/site of the workshop in Beijing provides distinct opportunities for comparative studies of Chinese philosophy and some other philosophical traditions in relevant connections (thus fitting coverages/interests of both CPWP and ISCWP).
Interested colleagues are welcome to participate in this workshop (as speakers and/or as no-obligation discussants) [for the sake of understanding and participating in in-depth engaging discussion, some learning background in philosophy of language/logic is expected]. If one is interested in presenting one’s (unpublished) research (at the later stage of the research) on the theme for critical discussion, please send an abstract (around 500 words, including references) to the coordinating team at <cpforumbj2024@outlook.com> and <cpforumbj@outlook.com> by 15 June 2024; if the topic/content of one’s submission is rendered fitting the theme and relevant academic expectations, one will receive the notice for its presentation before 30th June 2024; one is expected to send a relatively detailed outline or its paper to the coordination team by 10th July 2024 (for the sake of the participants’ warming-up preview and of good engaging discussion on scene).
